We recently used a voucher to check out this new (I think) restaurant. It appeared my diners on the Wednesday night we were there were doing the same and the place was quite full.My test whenever I use a voucher goes something like this: would I ever return to this place and pay full price and, would I ever re-buy a voucher and try again. No and no. Here's why ...The decor is quite ugly. Not sure what the restaurant was before but it's a garish mix of marble surfaces, smoked glass and chandelier. The service was well-meaning but patchy. The wine included in the deal - a glass of proscecco - was late in arriving and I had to ask for it. Generally I found the service quite unpolished. The food...
Raffinato Restaurant
46 Harris Street, Sydney, New South Wales 2009, Australia, 2041, Balmain Reservation"We had a voucher for an 'all-you-can-eat breakfast menu including muesli, yogurt, fruit, choice of hot breakfast dish, a bottle of prosecco, and coffee'. The restaurant was beautifully decorated and had a trendy atmosphere. Upon arrival, we were informed that they had run out of prosecco and were offered a bottle of pinot grigio instead, which was lovely. We were also served a plate of delicious pastries. However, the breakfast buffet was disappointing, with no juice available and unappetizing fruit options. The chocolate fondue tasted like powdered chocolate, the bananas were brown, and the eggs benedict was mediocre. The creme caramel had turned into a toffee, making it difficult to eat....

We had a wonderful dining experience at Asti, which we stumbled upon by chance during our last night in Australia in mid-March 2012. Despite the difficulty in securing a reservation two weeks in advance (possibly due to a discount voucher promotion), we were pleasantly surprised to be seated immediately when we arrived half an hour early. The restaurant was quite busy but had some empty tables throughout our meal. It seemed that they were still adjusting to being newly opened, as indicated by the pleasant decor and fantastic food offerings. I enjoyed the green asparagus velouté, pork belly, and poached pear in red wine. While we had an overall enjoyable experience, there were a few criticism...
Our experience at this restaurant was extremely disappointing. We bought a TravelZoo voucher for brunch, which required a reservation by phone. After two weeks of trying to contact them, we gave up and sent an email instead. When we arrived for our reservation, we were not even asked if we had booked and were seated at a table (despite the restaurant being empty). The waitress informed us that many items on the brunch menu were unavailable and that the advertised drink could be substituted with another alcoholic beverage. When we expressed our concerns, the waitress said the manager had already left for the day and could not assist us. When we finally spoke to the manager on the phone, he...
